C and Hg nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic study of alkenemercurinium ions: Effect of methyl substituents on Hg chemical shifts.

abstract：:c-myc, N-myc, and L-myc genes are subject to highly variable degrees of tissue-specific regulation. Their aberrant expression has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of malignant tumors. The recently identified max protein dimerizes with c-myc to promote its sequence-specific DNA binding. max exists ...
